And I wouldn't argue. Because I don't know.

    But it would seem to me that it's distinctly possible if not probable that free will does not exist. Certainly not in the way that we think that it does. Therefore, maybe souls don't exist. I don't know, I suppose.

    As I see it, however, we have two doors...

    Door One... Souls and free will.

    Door Two... No souls and no free will.

    That seems fairly obvious.
    So by soul, you are referring to consciousness? Just call it consciousness.. Soul typically refers to a metaphysical immortal being essentially that exists inside you ala a spirit that never dies. That's very different from consciousness.

    Doctor, lawyer, rocket scientist, etc? Yes, a college education is pretty much necessary for just about anyone going into these types of fields.

    Computer programmer, manager, secretary, plumber, 3rd grade teacher? Hardly necessary. A 3rd grade teacher would need a few classes in child psychology and that's about it. College didn't used to be a scam but now it is a massive scam. And do you know why? Because morons passed legislation making it so that anyone can go to college via government guaranteed loans. Absolute scam. Massive, massive scam.
    Yep. It's mostly an overpriced taxpayer-funded Marxist America-hating indoctrination camp at this point. A net negative. They're all about diversity of skin color, but not diversity of thought. Literally 1.46% of Harvard faculty identify as conservative. https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2...ren-president/

History can attest to that on how rich and powerful religious leaders have become and how influence they have in shaping a lot of nation. The unethical and immoral people usually gain more wealth and power in life than the honest and ethical people in general. It goes on the saying that, Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority.

    Teenagehood is about coming of age . You can’t expect everyone to have intellectual conversation when the focus is different. Girls , sports drinking, bullshitting, cars are more common topic. But if you build your work ethic and maintain your excellence academically in high school, you’re most likely to interact with the same group people in college whole building your network. You just have to accept the fact that your own perception is your own reality . If you’re saying whether are telling the truth than that’s on you not them. Once it does not register on your common sense then you know it’s BS even if they telling half truths to manipulate a fact.

    Sounds good in theory but thereÂ’s no Muslim majority nation that are in top 20 least corrupt country. Case in point, one of the most corrupt is Suharto of Indonesia. He embezzled 15-35 Billion dollars and thatÂ’s why they call him Mr. 30. He get 30 percent cut in all the his countries projects. The book do offer a lot good virtues but if it only make sense if Muslim majority nations follow it accordingly.

    Literally first page news on BBC is some lady who said people should wash their hands as suggested in the koran - this was in regards to COVID, and she's now going to be put in jail. Pretty sure this happened in Tunisia
